Solar that pays for itself, designed around your home
Most homes can generate a meaningful proportion of their own electricity from a properly designed rooftop solar system. We've here to work out the details with you - what size system, which panels, whether to include a battery and which tariff will give you the biggest benefits.

Solar in plain English
Solar panels turn daylight into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter converts that into the alternating current (AC) your home uses. Whatever your house can't use straight away either charges a battery or gets exported to the grid - which most modern tariffs pay you for.
In a typical home with a south-facing roof, a 4–6kWp system will cover a significant share of your annual electricity needs. Add a battery and you can shift more of that generation into the evening, when you'd otherwise be paying peak-rate grid electricity.
What our customers actually save
From our recent installs, the headline figures look like this:
Sue, Dulverton - 5.58kWp Aiko + 9.04kWh Sigenergy battery. £749/year saved. 11-year payback. 79% self-sufficient.
Greg, Bovingdon - 7.83kWp Longi across three flats. £900/year saved. 5-year payback.
Marwoods Farm, Cove - 16.7kWp ground-mount + battery storage. £3,122/year saved.

FAQs
How long does a domestic install take?
One to three days for most jobs. The scaffolding usually goes up the day before and comes down the day after.
Will the panels work in cloudy weather?
Yes - they generate less on overcast days than in full sun, but they still generate. Modern panels work off daylight rather than direct sunshine.
What about planning permission?
Most domestic solar installs fall under permitted development and don't need planning permission. Conservation areas, listed buildings and certain restricted areas are exceptions - we'll tell you upfront if your property is one of them.
Can I get a system if my roof isn't south-facing?
Yes. East-west splits work well in many UK homes and often produce more usable power across the day than a single south-facing array. We'll model it for your specific roof.
What happens when there's a power cut?
By default a grid-tied solar system shuts off during a power cut (a safety requirement). If continuity of supply matters to you, we can spec battery systems with backup capability that keep critical circuits live during outages.
